2003 Accent timing belt change

Nov 14, 2006 1 Replies

Hi,



I recently purchased a used 2003 Accent with 90k on it. I have decided since I dont have service records for the car that changing the timing belt is probably a good idea. I read here that the valves usually get bent when the belt breaks and can make a mess. (I had a nissan that did that, it was a real pain to fix) I was wondering if there were any good tips from people here to make the job as simple as possible. Are the Hanes manuals available, and any good for these cars ?



thanks, DaveV


As timing belt jobs go, this one is rather simple. If you've done them before, this one will not be an issue.
